[Integration]LIS Integration Development

Healthcare Integrations develops Laboratory Information System (LIS) integrations, including LIS-to-LIS and LIS-to-EHR connections, to exchange orders, results, billing, demographics, and more using HL7 and FHIR standards. We also create laboratory instrument integrations to seamlessly connect lab instruments with LIS platforms.

LET’S DISCUSS YOUR NEEDS

How We Can Help

Laboratories generate most of the data used by providers to make medical decisions and develop treatment plans for patients, so it’s no surprise that seamless data exchange is critical for the highest-quality laboratories. From exchanging electronic test orders and results with providers to billing and reimbursement exchange with payors, laboratories must integrate with a variety of systems internally and externally to succeed and grow.

Healthcare Integrations was founded on building integrations with laboratories, integrating laboratory information systems (LIS) with EHRs, billing platforms, and laboratory instrumentation to achieve interoperability and eliminate manual data entry processes. Today, we build LIS integrations to support all workflows within the laboratory, from order intake and accessioning to infectious disease reporting.

Instrument Integrations For Laboratories

Laboratories often need to integrate analytical instruments with their LIS platform to automate workflows and achieve operational efficiency.

We commonly build integrations with lab instruments made by the following companies:

We can support integrations with any lab instrument that supports HL7 or ASTM standards for data exchange. Please note that some instruments only support results-only unidirectional data exchange.

EHR Integrations for Laboratories

Laboratories often need to integrate their LIS with their clients’ EHRs to exchange Orders, Results, Demographics, and Billing data. These integrations are typically based on HL7v2 standards, but we can support other data exchange mechanisms as required by the EHR or LIS platforms involved.

Public Health Reporting Integrations for Laboratories

Laboratories are required to report certain infectious diseases as set by public health departments at the local, state, and national levels. We help build the necessary integrations for labs to remain compliant and support public health initiatives.

Revenue Cycle Management Integrations Laboratory Information Systems

Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) is a key component of many medical laboratory operations and extremely important to the financial health of a laboratory. Robust integration between a lab’s LIS and RCM software is key to automating these workflows. These integrations will help the lab maintain regulatory compliance, reduce claim denials, and optimize financial performance.

[FAQ]LIS Integration Service FAQs

What is the typical process for integrating our LIS with other healthcare systems?

Our 4-step process involves scoping, developing, validating, and monitoring your integrations.

Which systems can our LIS be integrated with?

We can integrate your LIS system with any other healthcare data system, with the most common requests including:

Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems
Laboratory instruments and analyzers
Billing and revenue cycle management systems
Regulatory reporting systems for public health data
Patient portals and physician order entry systems

How long does a typical LIS integration project take?

The timeline for an LIS integration project depends on the use case, which LIS system you use, and which other systems you need to integrate with. Simple to moderate complexity integrations typically less than 4-6 weeks, but more complicated integrations can take 6+ months.

What data can be shared between our LIS and other EHI data system?

We commonly build integrations that enable the exchange patient demographics, lab orders, lab results, and billing data. The data that can be exchanged between systems is dependent on the capabilities of both your platform and the system you want to integrate with.

What standards do you use for LIS integration?

We can support LIS Integrations using any data format, but most commonly use HL7v2., FHIR R4, and X12 EDI for most integration use cases. We build LIS integrations based on the intended use case, selecting the best data format standard for the job.

What data formats and connectivity methods do you use to build LIS Integrations?

Our team has used the following data formats to build LIS integrations:

Our team has used the following connectivity methods to build EHR Integrations:

How do you handle data mapping and transformation for LIS integrations?

We build the data mapping and transformation processes inside of the integration engine, also known as the interoperability layer. The interoperability layer sits between your platform, and all of the other systems that you need to integrate with. This interop layer handles all of the data mapping, data transformation, and data routing logic, kept separate from your laboratory information system to ensure maximum compatibility.

Do you provide ongoing support after the LIS integration is completed?

Yes, we offer post-integration support, monitoring, and maintenance services to ensure that your LIS integration remains functional, secure, and up-to-date with any changes stemming from your LIS or connected system.

How scalable are your LIS integration solutions?

Our LIS integration solutions are designed to be scalable, so they can grow with your laboratory. Whether you are adding new clients or instruments, or switching LIS platforms, we ensure that your integration framework can handle any changes.

What challenges might arise when building LIS integrations, and how do you address them?

Common challenges include differences between integration specifications and production environments, lack of communication or support from other vendors, and varying EHR implementations between clients using the same EHR platform. Our team has extensive experience in overcoming these challenges by leveraging our integration validation process, minimizing the reliance on other vendors, and designing LIS integrations to be configurable to achieve data exchange with custom EHR implementations that vary by organization.

How do you ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data being exchanged?

We perform rigorous testing during the development and validation process to ensure that the data is accurate and transferred without errors. We also offer also real-time LIS integration monitoring to maintain data integrity for the lifetime of the integration.
